My most obscure, unconfirmed gamer theory is that Claptrap (Borderlands) is a homage to LapTrap (Cluefinders). I have no evidence to support this, just vibes, but also I'm completely convinced.

Without fail, any time I try to paint my nails my 3.5mo daughter wakes up. You would think I would be better at timing by the 3rd attempt, but no!

Fun personal note: I'm now a parent!
Additional note: people were not kidding about how hard this first night home is. Wowza.
Additional note 2: she's so worth it, though.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

confident if Kamala were president, I wouldn’t be worried about war with Iran and especially wouldn’t be worried that she’d use the war to further curtail our civil liberties, alas

Legitimate question: is it an impeachable offense for POTUS to bomb a foreign country without the blessing of Congress?

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Remember how a bunch of folks decided they didn't want to vote for a woman as president because "women are too emotional?"
We could have had it SO much better.

Petition to redefine this video as the definition of masculinity, instead of whatever the podcast bros are trying to sell.

Wheel of time season 3 absolutely a huge step up. As someone who read the books once and is due for a re-read—it's definitely a different turning of the Wheel, but it's hitting its stride and boy oh boy do I want to see more.

Legitimately curious: Is there any historical precedence for impeaching a president due to intentional mis-management of the economy? Obviously it hasn't happened before, but is there a point at which it could, or where discussions have begun in the past?

I would love to see 1 Dem senator a week do what Booker did from now until the 2026 elections. Use the time to control the narrative, to block votes, to amplify the voices of Americans! Heck, even if a 24 hour marathon is out of their physical capabilities, pull 12 hours and block a day. KEEP GOING.

Bravo, Senator Booker. Thank you for reminding us what it means to stand up and literally and figuratively use the voice that we have. For reminding us to fight injustice in all the ways that we can.
